Obasanjo believes DOKUBO and HAMZA AL MUSTAPHA are working together for GEJ 2015
It is left for President Jonathan to address the very grievous allegation of having a killer squad. But Nigerians have not forgotten.
Is it not to Obasanjos eternal shame that his Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Bola Ige was murdered in cold blood and nobody was punished for that heinous crime
Have Nigerians forgotten the assassination of Chief AK Dikibo, a PDP chieftain, and Marshal Harry, an ANPP chieftain, in his Abuja home, amongst many others? In fact, Dikibo’s body had not gone cold when Obasanjo told a bewildered nation that he was killed by armed robbers, even when the security agencies were yet to start investigation.
So bad was the situation that Nobel Laureate, Prof. Wole Soyinka, branded the PDP a “nest of killers.
Granted, Jonathan’s attempt to hijack the entire PDP structure for his 2015 ambition is at the root of the crisis rocking the party, but he is only practicing what he learnt from Obasanjo. So, if it was okay for the former president to hijack the party that was formed while he was in prison, chasing away the founding fathers, why does he think Jonathan should not do the same?
Obasanjo was persuaded by many to adopt the “Mandela option,” that is, serve only one term and lay a solid foundation for democracy to thrive.
He demurred. Instead, he contrived a cheeky third term project which is at the root of most, if not all the crisis of confidence rocking the polity today.
Chief Audu Ogbeh, former PDP National Chairman, disclosed in an interview with Sunday Trust two days ago that his stance against Obasanjo’s tenure elongation bid almost cost him his life in 2005 as killers were sent to eliminate him. He was lucky to survive. Many were not. But he was forced to resign his chairmanship of the party.
Accusing Obasanjo of creating a mafia in the party, Ogbeh said, “I saw signs that the party was gradually degenerating into the state of mafia. There were too many powerful people in the party who could not be questioned or challenged, one of whom was the former president himself. The truth is that we built the party before he came out of prison.
“Obasanjo created the mafia, of course. He was the president, so there is no argument about that. But unfortunately, there were far too many cowards and sycophants in the PDP. And when I complained, I was tagged the rebel leader
Obasanjo is accusing Jonathan of planning to misuse the country’s security apparatus. But have we forgotten so soon how policemen were used to abduct a sitting state governor, Dr. Chris Ngige of Anambra State, at the behest of Obasanjo and members of the mafia he created? It is therefore highly disingenuous for him to claim that abuse of security apparatus “took place last in the time of Abacha.”
Is Jonathan engaging in anti-party activities by supporting candidates of opposition parties to win governorship elections in Ondo, Edo and Anambra? The answer is yes. But he has only proved to be a good student of Obasanjo. Have we forgotten how he denied Senator Ifeanyi Araraume, the PDP governorship candidate in Imo State, victory in 2007? He simply played God when he declared that the 2007 elections would be do-or-die affair.
I agree entirely with Obasanjo when he tells Jonathan, “As a leader, two things you must cherish and hold dear among others are trust and honour both of which are important ingredients of character.” But the irony is that the messenger lacks both virtues.
Lest I be misunderstood, while I don’t know anything about the 1000 people on political watch list and the hit squad being put together to eliminate them, as a discerning political observer, it is trite to say Nigeria is in dire straits and much has to do with Jonathan’s 2015 ambition and what he is doing or not doing to realize it.
